Guard the ramparts;
watch the road;

collect all your strength.(A)

as well as the majesty of Israel,
though ravagers have ravaged them
and ruined their branches.)(B)

2 A scatterer has come up against you.

protect your groin, save your[a] strength!

because ravagers have destroyed
them and spoiled their branches.
